In a recent debate, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump engaged in a fierce exchange of words.
Harris, however, was accused of spreading numerous falsehoods about Trump's stance on various issues, including abortion, IVF, the auto industry, and his involvement in the events of January 6th. She also attempted to associate Trump with the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, a policy proposal series that Trump has neither endorsed nor read, according to his own admission.
As reported by The Post Millennial, the debate moderators from ABC, Lindsey Davis and David Muir, were keen on fact-checking Trump, even to the point of misrepresenting facts. For instance, they claimed that no state legally performs abortions at term, which turned out to be untrue. ABC, the network that hosted the debate, has been ranked as the most biased network, with 100% positive coverage of Harris and 93% negative coverage of Trump.
During the debate, Harris alleged that Trump had referred to the participants of the Charlottesville rally, where far-right and anti-American agitators clashed over Confederate statues, as "very fine people." "Remember, Charlottesville," Harris said. "There were people carrying tiki torches, spewing antisemitic hate, and what did the president then at the time say, 'there were fine people on each side.'" This claim, however, has been widely debunked. "No," Snopes said in a fact check, "Trump did not call neo-Nazis and white supremacists 'very fine people."
Harris also misquoted Trump, suggesting he had predicted a "bloodbath" if he were not re-elected. Trump's actual statement was a warning about the potential economic impact of the Electric Car Mandate being pushed by Biden. "The United Auto Workers, but not their leadership, fully understand what I mean. With the Electric Car Mandate being pushed by Biden, there soon won't be any cars made in the USA," Trump said.
On the topic of abortion, Harris falsely claimed that Trump would enact a federal ban on abortion and oppose IVF, both of which he has repeatedly stated he would not do. In fact, there are eight states with no limits on abortion, and in Oregon, an Antifa militant recently celebrated her ability to get an abortion at seven months gestation, well past the moment of viability.
Regarding the events of January 6th, Trump highlighted that he had reached out to then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was in charge of the Capitol Police, and she had decided not to deploy extra officers. This decision was quickly acknowledged as a mistake, as revealed in leaked footage from a documentary being filmed in the Capitol that day. However, the debate failed to mention the assassination attempt on Trump's life on July 13, an incident that many legacy media outlets have chosen to overlook.
Trump concluded the debate by questioning Harris' effectiveness in office, asking why she hasn't implemented her proposed solutions to fix the economy and curb illegal immigration during her three and a half years in office. This question remains unanswered, leaving the public to ponder the effectiveness of the current administration's policies and leadership.
